Our local news coverage of the attack on the temple in West Bloomfield is light years ahead of national coverage.

Detroit, Dearborn, and SE Michigan is not utopia. However, there is a very long history of interfaith cooperation here. Many of us mourn for and with our Jewish and Muslim neighbors.

I also haven't been getting many mailers from Kat, and around where I live, that's what is getting attention. Mailers and door knocking.

I don't think there's any evidence that it's coming from Biss though

I know this community very well. The Shenandoah club the Temple Israel statement refers to as providing food and shelter during this attack is the club established by Iraqi Chaldeans. This is really beautiful interfaith solidarity in action.

Live updates: Police in West Bloomfield, Michigan responding to possible active shooter at Temple Israel | CNN Police are responding to reports of a potential active shooter at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said. Follow for live updates.

As we wait for more details to emerge from what appears to be an ongoing attack on the largest Reform synagogue in America, we send love and solidarity to the entire congregation and community.

Regardless of what exactly is happening, no community should have to live with this fear.

I want to be part of the human conversation. I have no interest in being tricked into believing that A.I. is a real entity that has any right to "stack" against human writers.

My most Millennial trait is that I despise that beige/off-white/bleached wood trend, and every accessory made of raffia or whatever that impossible-to-dust material is.

I'm begging for a color. I'll take olive green and orange at this point.

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.

Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command.
It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards.
Automated snapshots were gone too.
In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again.
If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

I am an unapologetic skimmer and get almost all new non-fiction from the library (or used for older non-fiction). It's just not worth the money.

And the "fix it" is three pages at the end containing nothing but platitudes and vague hopes, with almost no reasonably actionable steps.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39

Don't worry, I'm a wine mom too. 😭

And Target has for sure missed out on hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars from me this year. I have no intention of going back.

I'd like to see a side-by-side of Jamelle and TCW making the same general point so that we can fully appreciate the talent required to write clearly, cogently, and free of passive voice.

I will not miss Durbin. I'm voting for Stratton though.
